I started over fresh with a new quilt. This is the first block. I'm still working on how to get a decent photo but you get the idea. I'm doing this one in pink, blue and purple and started with the seams. My embroidery is quite uneven so I used lots of ribbon and a tatted edging for one seam.
I did the tatting myself with a needle. I have tried on a number of occasions to learn to tat with a shuttle but have so for been pretty unsuccessful. I managed a short chain using
this video, This is the only one I have been able to find that really shows how to do "the flip". I think I really need someone to walk me through the steps one on one but I have been unable to find a teacher in my area.
This is the first one I did. I didn't do all the seams on this one because I didn't know I was supposed to. I was also concerned about the embellishments being too much but if I had it to do over again, I would add more. More is better as far as I'm concerned.
I would love to hear comments and suggestions from CQers and any others.
